Simien uses his roots as an eighth-generation Louisiana Creole to create
a wild ride of Zydeco music with inspirations from around the world.
Zydeco is a form of American folk music that evolved in Southwest
Louisiana during the early 19th century.

In 2008, Simien won the Grammy award for "Best Zydeco or Cajun Music
Album." He has performed more than 5,000 concerts worldwide and has been
featured in dozens of films, including "The Big Easy." He can be heard
playing accordion on the song "Gonna Take You There" in the Disney film
"The Princess and the Frog." This music can be heard at
www.terrancesimien.com.

Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience will also perform "Creole for
Kids and the History of Zydeco" as part of the Student Matinee Series at
10 a.m., Friday, February 11 at LCCC's Stocker Arts Center. Tickets are
$4 each and can be purchased at the box office or ordered online. The
student matinee series is appropriate for children in all grades.
